Best Small RC Cars? - Brushless Vs Brushed SG 1602.

Brushed 1/16 SG 1602 RC Truggy Vs Brushless 1/16 SG 1602 Who will win!
Look a bit like mini 1/16 ARMMA Kratons! Which is the best Small RC Car?
Brushless:

Brushed
www.banggood.com/SG-1602-116-...
Both these little Cheap RC Cars are good fun! And the Brushed one is not actually to bad compared to the Brushless one. You get a few extras with the Brushless one, so this is probably the best Value RC out of the 2.
Chassis is the same as the HBX 16889 Brushless RC Monster Truck, and if you watch this video, you'll see how tough this RC is! One of the toughest cheap rc cars you can get!

Love the 'small' rc cars, thank you for this video.

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude

[@IsmaEmili]

9:13 they are perfectly synchronized 😮😯

[@RunThatRC]

I love mine! It's the same as the HBX 16889. Great trucks tons of fun and decent runtime. Good comparison brother!

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude. Seen you have uploaded.... will give it a watch when I get a chance

[@bangurhead4027]

Cool vid gov!! The brushed one held its own 'eh? Loved the Rugby scrummin'!! 👍

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah it’s decent. Fast and tough

[@carlospinilla2940]

Oml tysm I bought the fastest one and js such fun tysm dude ngl!

[@aydinlutmergp4885]

Nice comparison vid, I used a subotech brave to hold my phone up while watching this lol!

[@TomleyRC]

haha... you know your 'RC' when you have it holding your phone ;)

[@davidrcbasher4412]

I would probably buy brushed and convert myself. Great vid

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers David. Always nice to upgrade yourself..... gives you a bit more satisfaction when driving it

[@gamercat7004]

I got myself a brushed latrax prerunner desert truck and I'm also doing the same I'm converting it to brushless.

[@davidrcbasher4412]

A bit more satisfying when driving a truck built by yourself.

[@carlospinilla2940]

Great video !!!

[@TomleyRC]

Thank you

[@danielemulazzi1615]

Gran bel video... ciao Tomley

[@adopancia7445]

Nice one! Do you know if the brushless one can handle 3s batteries...?

[@drewd423]

Do you know what size the stock pinion is on an SG 1602? I ordered the brushed version to upgrade but it measures like a mod 0.6. Do you know what might be a good brushless replacement motor and pinion?

[@shak273]

I have the brushless one and it's so amazing, just ordered some new parts because the wheel broke and superglue doesn't hold forever!

[@BMWiE-lz3nu]

Try mixing superglue and baking soda. Just make sure the glue is really thin like water.

[@thedumpydustman6088]

Awesome review buddy. Very good looking little trucks just a shame the green didnt come with matching green rims!

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, that would have been nice

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty impressive little trucks, dude! 😃 Great bashing and review! And happy new year! 😊

[@TomleyRC]

Happy New Year dude

[@danmcnelly5901]

Hi I have one of these with brushed motor but I have to keep going on and off the throttle as it cuts all power to the motor if I keep any amount of throttle on for around 2 seconds Once it cuts out there is a blue led on the receiver that starts to flash slowly Only does it on the ground If I hold it up it’s fine It’s like the esc Is overloading under any load? Any idea? Regards

[@PNRobo]

Hi SG 1601 have a plastic Drive Shaft with sreew on wheels is it posible to swap it for Metal Drive shaft ? I didnt find it nowhere ,any idea plz ?

[@kcira8578]

Is the brushless come with friction shocks too? And does the aux button on the tx work Anyway, love the video.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes friction on both. I forgot to try the aux. I'll try tomorrow if I remenber

[@dweben1]

Just bought a couple of these from Blackzon... noticed both of them make a crackling type noise when idle. Do you guys get the same with yours?

[@billycarlin1180]

When you motor changed the feiyue fy08 did you use the same pinion it came with ? Please make a vid on how you did it because I got it for Christmas .

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, swapped the stock pinion over on to the new motor

[@billycarlin1180]

Thx I'm new to the hobby and I want to change the motor and I had no idea

[@dowie7745]

The truggy what type of oil do the shock absorbers and differential take? Thanks

[@mariopuzo4509]

The 1513 subotech/virhuck is faster stock than a 12428. Not to mention handles so much better. But I burned out the servo so another mod car I guess..

[@modelnutty6503]

the 14-16 mm diameter lithium ion cant push the current like the 18 mm cells, which still cant push all that much, so they played safe with 370 size brushless and metal rear shafts. there's a chance that popping in a LiPo may start shredding gears etc, same time there's also a fair chance running LiPo in the brushed will about keep pace with the brushless. Subotech/GPtoys/HBX often same factory, and they're very good with their structural plastics, rigid with some flex, difficult to break. I don't worry much about those fat plastic drive shafts, larger with larger joints/couplers is welcome too tho.

[@TomleyRC]

It seems pretty good... I may stick a 2s lipo in and chance my luck!

[@Tuidkskiwjdhdbd]

I love my brushless one I ordered another i love how they look like i kraton I'm buying a kraton kinda bc of these trucks lol

[@TomleyRC]

Yes... a mini Kraton lol

[@shak273]

:) I have the brushless too

[@aljensen7779]

Phil, I'm curious as to why you referred to both batteries as being Lithium-ion. Are they not just round lipo cells?

[@TomleyRC]

Lipo & Li-ion are different, although you do hear Li-ion's being called Lipos etc... it can get complicated, but Lipo in the RC world refers to the flat type batteries which do give a higher discharge rate, and it does make quite a noticeable difference.

[@nuevomundorc5097]

Hi, you know if are there spare parts?

[@TheFishingDaddy]

Hey just came across your channel really good content. can you recommend something for beginners budget under 100 on the 1/16 scale Like the best in this scale would do. Thanks

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude. Lots to choose from in the 1/16 scale. The best value for money at the moment is the WLtoys 144001, which is 1/14 scale...but about the same size as the 1/16's. Next from that would probably be the Xinlehong Q901

[@TheFishingDaddy]

@@TomleyRC thanks much appreciated

[@tylermaracle1931]

What do I need to make it brushless now remote transmitter and engine if so im sad from my nephew now

[@eddie-g2143]

Brushless for life!!!!!!!!i got a sand master kyosho.....i've replaced its brushed motor with a brushless one.....9410kv 3,5turns..........and the nimh... to a 8800 mAh lipo battery 120c.....the torque and top speed....are more than incredible!!!!i can hardly control it!!!

[@TomleyRC]

Yes..I had a Sand Master converted to Brushless...it was crazy! (There is a couple of videos from a while back on here)

[@tylermaracle1931]

Mad I ordered 1 and it came brushed with the crap remote so upset they weren't more specific

[@philpayne4579]

Have you got the new Wltoys 104311 crawler coming? Quite keen on having a look at that.

[@TomleyRC]

Banggood offered it to me for review, but I kindly refused as it's actually very toy grade and by the looks of it, it has non proportional steering.

[@modelnutty6503]

Phil if you're looking at toy grade, get a look at YYplay's YY300. bang-bang steering yes, but its 4 mode 4 wheel steering, proportional throttle, motor braking, with enough power+speed for crawling+bouncing. the tiny body it comes with DOES suck, slapped a JJRC Q-15 (a 20 dollar mistake) body onto mine, looks a lot better. same wheelbase as a WPL, is another body option. Danchee "Trail Hunter" for 40 bucks or less (eBay), is 1/12 or 1/10 scale wheelbase with big soft tires, proportional steering+throttle and motor braking. not bad for cheap entry level half toy half hobby grade, RedCat endorsed/sold them too... but for about 100 bucks their RockRidge 4WD 4WS crawler gives a TON of control and flex, pretty good looking rig too. the Trail Hunter here, CA'd some body posts to it (sideways) to slap an HPI pre-painted Jeep body onto, looks and performs pretty good (lots of flex!). it's a 2 axle 2 motor "toy", but haven't needed to open it up yet to try to drop in stronger motors. replacing 130's with 180's can do wonders if there's room to be made for them, done it to a few things already.

[@philpayne4579]

@@TomleyRC That's a shame. I just saw pictures of it and it looked like it had a nice body. After the excellent 144001 that I just got for my son for Christmas I was hoping it would be of similar quality. Definitely not interested if it's toy grade as it costs way too much to try and upgrade those sort of things. Do you have any suggestions for a decent rolling chassis to put the electronics from a 12428 in? We upgraded it to brushless and it's good for nearly 60mph now, but fed up of having to fix it all the time because it's clearly not built for those speeds. Tempted with something like the Absima ab3.4.

[@AW-Luke]

Noice

[@nikhilbhatt9114]

Will this take a lipo? The brushless one looked like it came with a lithium ion battery

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, Lipo should be fine in the Brushless one

[@BMWiE-lz3nu]

Damn u all have no idea how good u have it. Cars this fast was only for those able to afford nitro set ups. These are beginner cars!

[@BlvlWmpower]

The brushed one always won the first 5 feet, then losses worse and worse lol.

[@ceramicpots43]

What the heck I cant even buy one and this guy gets 2 of the same thing?

[@adityasandy7638]

can the brushed version take the lipo battery mate? apreciate ur answer

[@norhafizuljohar5975]

Yes both can

[@ckrams]

Thanks for the video. I actually followed your link to buy this RC cars, but have really no trust on this banggood website. What is your thoughts about them please. a bit confused to be honest even after some research. Thanks

[@RichHair]

can i install a 2s or 3s? but how ? what do I need for that

[@TomleyRC]

I'm not sure on 3s, but 2s yes. You'll need a battery the right size

[@dwiadiprasetyo9977]

So, Brushless for High Speed and Brushed for High Torque ?

[@EppeRRR]

I really like the HBX Rampage 18859, it has a 390 motor if I'm correct. The HBX 16889 has the same engine? These look pretty awesome to. The fact is that I mentioned the Rampage 1/18 is that I've seen them use 2S Lipo on them, maybe these brushed monter truck wil do better on 2s also? Thank you for these video's, it really makes me start this hobby again (30 years later) with my son :D

[@TomleyRC]

Hi mate... The HBX Rampage is a good little basher. Should work fine with a Lipo. Getting kids in to this hobby is the most important thing, as it keeps them off the Xbox/Playstation! 👍

[@larrywhite6457]

@@TomleyRC I'm looking to get a Rampage HBX or a Hail Storm HBX do you know which one would be a better fit I'm looking for something that's fast. I also noticed that both vehicles come with the 850Amh Lipo battery can you please help me out on which one is the best I would greatly appreciate it thank you.

[@kamran9195]

I love how most of the time the brushless one doesn't zoom out of frame as you would expect it to

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, the brushed one wasn't far behind at all.

[@gunnerman1880]

I want one but I've heard really bad reviews about banggood but they seem to be the best place to buy RCS so caught between a rock and hard place really. What are your opinions please!.

[@TomleyRC]

I've had a few things not turn up from Banggood... but they always refund. And if you pay with paypal you have cover from them as well.

[@donmichaelcorbin4417]

After having bad experiences with both Wish and Gearbest, I was hesitant to order from Banggood. I've been ordering from Banggood for several years now, starting back when I was into drones. Of the dozens of orders I've made with them I only had a problem once, and after emailing them they straightened everything out. If there's a downside it'd have to be the shipping time. It's not Amazon, so it may take anywhere from a week to a month, but it's still worth it.

[@sonnyblack5253]

Can you try the 3s batt

[@TomleyRC]

Maybe yes

[@bigb69ti]

so they are the same as the hbx 16889?? hbx is cheaper in $ are the controllers the same? or does these have more ranger over the hbx? i hear the hbx range really sucks?? or maybe that was a bad batch

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah same as the HBX. I didn't notice an issue with the range on this or the HBX (Brushless transmitter).

[@bigb69ti]

oh ok, that is the main reason i have not picked one up. i have watched videos and read comments on the hbx and a few people has said the range is super bad

[@billyjones589]

The brushless one is all over the place

[@blueballs5150]

I’m actually looking for a monster truck at the moment. Preferably 1/10, fast, upgradable, rugged and as always budget friendly. What do you suggest? 🍺🌭😋🤘

[@TomleyRC]

All depends on budget mate. I have this coming soon, may be a good budget option... maybe wait for the review. If you have a bit more to spend, then the Arrma 3s BLX range are awesome! Big Rock or Granite would be best

[@modelnutty6503]

I don't like their policies regarding other manufacturers and even KZbin content creators (sue happy!), but in the US Traxxas is excellent for parts and upgrade parts being delivered very quickly. they used to BE the budget competetive alternative, and some of their products are still reasonably budget friendly, so I don't rule them out either.

[@Luca-pg5mj]

but in motors with brushed brushes brushed brushes do brushes wear out? That is, if the charcoal is consumed the engine is to be thrown away? 🙄

[@independentassesor2630]

Be so good if they had a stronger driveline and retained the 390 motor on brushless

can you put a 3s in it? the brushless one?
